October Birthday Bash

I love my new fire pit. I especially love my new fire pit when it is surrounded by dear friends.

Our home group has six families in it, and one spouse from each family has a birthday in October (that would be six birthdays, for those of you who are mathematically challenged). Two even share the same date. It's kind of crazy and amazing. Tonight we hosted what is probably our last backyard party of the year and had a Home Group October Birthday Bash.

a lot of birthdays on that birthday list

We roasted hot dogs and had s'mores. I used this recipe to make gluten free graham crackers, and I've decided that homemade graham crackers is where it's at. Those things are good.

quite pleased to roast 'mishmoes'

We love our church, but being a part of a home group has made our church experience exactly what we needed. This is our third year as a home group, and now people who we used to barely see on a rushed Sunday morning are people we could call day or night if we needed to. Our church feels like home because of this group of friends.

About Me

This blog records our family adventures while raising 3 kids. Daphne (12/24/08) is smart as a whip and really funny. She wears the braces on her legs because she was born with club feet and they are ever-so-slowly getting straightened out. She has skeletal dysplasia, AKA an undiagnosed type of dwarfism. She thought it would be good to be born with something that no one else in the world has. Christian (8/31/11) likes cars and airplanes and tractors and trains. He has the best smile, and loves snuggling with his mama and working outside with his dad. Jonas (6/13/14) is a happy, smiley, laughing, chatty baby, with a double chin and under-arm rolls. His older siblings are quite enamored with him, as are his parents.
